Although Carolina is not my area, in general, if the home buying market is for families with school-aged children, the market for homes generally stays strong until around the time the fall school year begins. If your target market is couples, many areas can stretch until around mid-to-late September. But there are quirks in many markets. You can check for how sales ran last year to get a better idea of your local trend.

Thanks, Gyr Falcon. I'll try to find those numbers.

Carolina Kate,
I usually advise my clients to sell when the time is right for them, and then play the market as a second priority. The thing with waiting until Spring to sell because that is when there are more buyers out, is that there are a lot more sellers out on the market too! It is pretty much a wash, oddswise.
If you are close to the Charlotte area, I can run those #s for you.
